**Challenges:**
The plans when imported in FM comes with the information that was associated with the individual spaces in Revit such as **space number and description.** The **area of each space** is also calculated and displayed. The facility manager can now go ahead and add additional information about each space such as **occupant information, capacity, type, equipment**, and so on.

Some of the equipment information did not appear. For example a few kinds of lighting fixture properties(hanging light), doors and windows and some mechanical equipment properties was not carried over.

Go to the facility home page.
